A Nice Restaurant

Not sure if a name could be further from its meaning. My first experience was on the phone. The girl who answered was somewhat unintelligible and completely short and rude. I only asked if I called the right place and how long they served breakfast. I got rude one word answers with an annoyed tone. Looking at the menu I wasn’t that impressed as it seemed like a generic selection from a typical greasy spoon but I decided to reserve judgement and let my taste buds decide. When the server got there she said she would be right back as soon as she saw my wife come back from the restroom. That was the only time she would speak to us. 15 minutes later she decided to take a larger table’s order and then go to put that order in without even checking on us. Another five minutes of us watching her in the back and we were done. We walked out and as they watched us leave and no one said one word. If only there was a way to rate this place below a full star. Please, save yourself the bother and avoid this place altogether.

Went during peak breakfast hours, I was one of two tables in the whole place, I should’ve taken the hint. Felt as though I was bothering the waitress by even being there. She rarely spoke in full words, mainly just grunts to acknowledge my presence and order. Meal total was just under $ 10. Two eggs over easy, cooked adequately, 3 pieces of thin bacon but was cooked crispy. One mediocre biscuit with the blandest gravy I’ve ever had in my life and a large orange juice. Everybody makes mistakes, seeing that I’m under 85, stopping here was one of my life’s mistakes.

We enjoy coming to eat here on Sunday morning brunches. The food is good and we have always gotten very good service. We have always experienced a family atmosphere that we really enjoy.

Recommended by my kids because it was close to their house. I was disappointed with everything I ordered but the rude put out waitress made it all the more disappointing.
My wife ordered hot chocolate and water with her food. The water never came so my wife asked for it again politely. When she came back with the water she reached across four people to hand me the water then thew a straw across the table toward my wife, there was totally open space for her to walk the two more steps with the water.
My toast was not toasted, butter on it was fake and tasteless.
My western omelet was really a onion omelet with almost nothing else in it.
The menu is thin, there is no healthy options and many items are basically store bought items. They don’t even bake their own biscuits, the buy them at the store according to our waitress

This is one of my favorite dive restaurants to grab lunch before running errands or breakfast with the wife. The food is good and the staff is very friendly. I really enjoy supporting the family own VS chain/​franchise.

Server was nice and polite. Food was ok… Potatoes were not so good over cooked and to oily. Quesadillas were pretty good. Coffee was not the best it wasn’t very strong. Would probably not go back.

Sexy Beast suggested that we give this place another shot. I acquiesced since holding a grudge is so very ugly.
We were greeted and seated promptly. Our drink order was taken and delivered. And, then, it all went to hell.
I excused myself to the restroom where I encountered our server as she was washing her hands. She looked at me as I walked in the door. I smiled and stepped past her into the stall. I shut the stall door, dropped trough, and, well, you know what happens in there. I heard the waitress open the outer door. The room went black. I hollered. The waitress walked out the door and it closed behind her. There I sat, pants down, in the dark, hollering. It was not cool. I groped around, got my pants up, shuffled out of the stall, slammed into the trash can, groped around the wall by the door, found the switch, flipped it on, and was rewarded with the reassuring embrace of light.
I washed my hands and stomped back to the table where I informed Sexy Beast that we would be leaving. I even explained why. I also explained why to the offending waitress who was either stupid or callus enough to leave someone bare-​assed in the dark in an unfamiliar room. She responded that she «didn’t mean to» and waived away my offer to pay for our drinks. It’s hard to imagine that her actions were unintentional after we’d made eye contact and acknowledged each others presence and I’m fairly sure she heard me when I bellowed when the lights went out. She heard me just fine when I ordered iced tea so she certainly wasn’t hearing impaired.
So, no, I won’t be giving «A Nice Restaurant» another try. I’ll be clutching this grudge to my bosom for quite some time. I don’t give a damn how ugly it is.

1. Very slow to take order even though only three tables and two servers???
2. The potatoes were NOT hash browns… they are country style
3. The gravy was cold

I really like the food at A Nice Restaurant. It is basic breakfast essentials; eggs, bacon, pancakes, etc. Like Chuck’s Café in Jeffersonville, they bake the bread for their french toast in house. They also use fresh, not frozen, cubed potatoes and peppers to make their unique and delicious version of hash-​browns. The food isn’t as exciting or innovative as Toast on Market but it is also much less expensive and there is almost never a wait for a table. The serving sizes are also much bigger and the food has more of a home cooked feel to it.
The service at A Nice Restaurant can be a little disorganized and slow at times. The staff seems less professional than at some other restaurants. It doesn’t stop me from eating there but it definitely gives the place a «diner» feel.

More like ‘A Mediocre Restaurant’. The biscuits & gravy taste like they’re straight out of a can. They could have at least spiced it up a bit.
The western omelette was super average & the table top was loose to top it off.

This very assumingly named place is in a very unassuming location. It sits on the corner of a shopping center a bit from the main road with a nail salon and a dry cleaner. The inside is cozy but not very interesting. What they lack in appearance is made up for by service. On a busy morning, I ordered and recieved my food in less than 15 min. Usually I would be nervous because that means it was premade. I ordered the quesadilla and it was hot, fresh, and delicious. I initially was going to give it 3 stars because I am big on atmosphere, but I’m upping it to 4 because of the service and the food I recieved. It’s not the most interesting experience, but it is functional and tasty– and that is commendable!

More than just an unimaginative name, A Nice Restaurant really is… well, a nice restaurant.
Let’s be honest. The name of the joint isn’t «A Restaurant That Will Send You Raving» or «A Restaurant That Will Blow Your Mind.» No, it is «A Nice Restaurant» and that is exactly what it is. They do one meal, breakfast, and they do it well.
The menu is pretty basic and includes eggs, omelets, pancakes, French toast, bacon, biscuits and gravy and so on; stuff you expect to find. There are the normal breakfast platters and the occasional seasonal fare such as autumn’s pumpkin French toast which is very good. You won’t leave feeling hungry and you’re almost guaranteed to enjoy what you choose no matter what it is.
My only complaints are personal preference ones in that I like my hash browns a little crispier than they prepare them and stuff like that.
The servers run themselves ragged while cheerily attending to each table and the room has a bustling energy without feeling rushed. Seating is almost never an issue and the floor to ceiling windows are excellent for providing the morning’s natural light. Along with the hand-​painted walls and woven baskets, the feeling is warm and homey without feeling forced.
While you probably won’t go out of your way to visit, A Nice Restaurant provides the kind of value for your basic breakfast dollar that you will be hard-​pressed better in New Albany.

This is a cool place! Katie and I just moved to a house in New Albany. A Nice Restaurant is maybe a mile from our house. Katie has ate their before, but I have never been.
During the week they serve breakfast and lunch and the weekends they just serve breakfast. They are only open in the morning to the early afternoon. I believe they close around two.
It has your small diner, greasy spoon, kinda feel to the place. The service is polite and prompt. I ordered the hash browns and a biscuit with jelly. The hash browns are the home-​fry cubed potato kind and not the shredded kind. They were very tasty. Meal was very reasonably priced. We will definitely try A Nice Restaurant again. Breakfast was great, I want to try their lunch sometime.
